Google’s Updates Helpful Content Guidance, Search Console Reports, and Page Experience Optimization

Google recently added a new section on page experience to its guidance on creating helpful content and updated the help page on-page experience to help site owners consider page experience as part of the content creation process.

This update is part of Google’s effort to streamline its page experienced guidance.

Improving Page Experience Guidance

Google’s core ranking systems have always sought to reward content providing a good page experience. In 2011, Google provided guidance on this, which was updated in 2019 and made a part of the Creating Helpful, reliable, people-first Content help page in 2020.

The “Presentation and production questions” section of the help page covered some aspects of page experience, but others were not included.

Google has now added a section on providing a great page experience, which explains how those hoping to be successful in Search should consider this.

This section links to the revised Understanding page experience in the Google Search results help page, which explains the role of page experience in more detail, along with self-assessment questions and resources.
